I'm back here again haha.. after what seems like eternity.. anyway I bought a 1988 Ram 50 4x4 that the guy said had a "rod knock".. last I remembered a rod knock is a low knock.. not a high pitched clang.. so I bought it for $200 and brought home.. pulled the valve cover and found what I figured it was.. just a bad chain tensioner.. looked all in the engine and I see no oil deposits its all nice and shiny and it has manual lifters.. so obviously the previous owner from the guy I bought it from must've done some engine work to it and the block is painted which leads me to think the engine was pulled and painted.. all the poor thing needs is a bed.. the guy sold the flatbed that was on it and I think I'm gonna rhinoline it black.. ill keep everyone up to date!
